He is a licensed architect, an urban designer, and a certified city planner with over 35 years of experience working on large-scale urban development projects for both public and private sector clients in cities across the United States.
Mr. Stienon has worked with several renowned architectural and engineering firms, which has given him a broad familiarity with all aspects of urban development, including architecture, city planning, historic preservation, landscape architecture, transportation, infrastructure, environmental sustainability, public engagement, and the implications of zoning and how subtle variations can have a very large effect on the built form and the character of place.
His approach to the design of cities involves a creative integration of architecture, urban infrastructure, natural systems, and cultural heritage to generate urban typologies suited to the economic and environmental challenges facing our society today. He effectively uses context and precedent as the basis for a contemporary language of architecture and urban design to balance the physical, social, economic, and environmental complexities of large-scale master planning and urban design.
Mr. Stienon teaches a course on Urbanism at Fordham University and an architectural studio at the School of Architectural Technology at CUNY City Tech. He also taught courses on urban design at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University.
